Recharging!

Friends of mine had dramas that needed support. Beloved
had to mine through some annoyances – he didn’t need support (I admire his
strength that he rarely needs support, or perhaps his low concentration span
that he is easily distracted from whatever’s troubling him) but since he’s
always been my foundation and anchor I insist on being there to provide the
support he doesn’t actually need.

Work has been – yeah, the usual – and sleep has rounded
up the insomnia in a row. And I went to Wales to see my brother which was a
necessary break, but was also tiring (and wet. Very very wet – more on this
later) and infected me with the dreaded lurgy.

And I’ve been working on a post that has been dragging for a while but is damn
hard to write so saps my energy and leaves me all BLARGLE without getting it
finished.

So I’ve been away for a little bit, or on shallow
posting.

I meant to come back today and start blitzing things but
ran full tilt into a “gay men have a tradition and culture of preying on
underage boys” and decided to step back again and instead chase out some of the
alligators before leaping back into the pool.

I’ve pruned my flist, my RSS and blocked a few people on
twitter (not so much of people I was following but of people who were being
retweeted by people I was following and I wanted to go without seeing them in
my feeds) and blocked a few IPS on sparkindarkness and a few other places. If I
drop off the map somewhere I was previously present, it’s because I’ve left.

It feels rather refreshing. I try to do a good clean out
at least once every three months, I’m overdue.
